We spent the weekend in Cardiff visiting an old school friend of my husband's. Having never been before, we particularly loved the Cardiff Bay area. We took a boat trip around the harbour, and I was really struck by this cluster of buildings on the waterfront, crowned by the beautiful copper roof of the Wales Millennium Centre. It was a lovely sunny day and the strong light really brought out the contrasting colours and textures of the buildings.

50 years on from the Summer of Love, attending San Francisco Pride was a blast to the face of colour, diversity, vibrancy, hope, music and a celebration of life. This child, as a very well dressed symbol of pride, was being held up flying high, as a beacon of hope. In the home of Silicon Valley, if iPride exists, this is it.

I saw this sign which I thought summarised where I was and the anti-Trump feeling, which for just one day, we forgot who he was and what he stands for... Who is Trump? And who cares. All things will pass. George Harrison said that.

Over the weekend, the midsummer festivities took place in Finland, with people enjoying the midnight sun. It is common for Finns to spend this weekend in their summer cottages, away from the cities such as Tampere or Helsinki.I took this photo at around 3am on Saturday (24th June 2017) of a friend rowing across a lake in Vesanto (mid Finland), where another friend owns an idylic summer cottage by a lake. It is just over four hours drive North of Helsinki meaning that it hardly gets dark at all throughout the whole night. The lighting was so perfect that the photo came straight off the camera like this with no need for editing. I have multiple photos of the same boat but this is my favourite.
